It is a constituent in structural materials where strength/weight is a design Figure of Merit. Its grain orientation is highly influenced by the alloying elements that affect the strength of iron and its alloys (steels). For example, steel (Fe-C) is one of the strongest alloys due to the advantageous position of carbon as an interstitial solid in the Fe atoms matrix.
